Complex and revision shoulder & elbow surgery in London
When a previous operation hasn't delivered the expected outcome, or when a case is too complex for a general orthopaedic surgeon, Mr Baring offers specialist assessment, second opinions, and revision surgery.
Symptoms
Persistent pain or stiffness after a previous shoulder or elbow operation
A replacement implant that is loose, infected, or failing
A fracture that has not healed correctly (malunion or non-union)
A complex case where you've been told surgery is high-risk or not possible
Approach
Thorough review of previous imaging and surgical records. Honest assessment of whether revision surgery will help. If proceeding: revision shoulder/elbow replacement, complex fracture reconstruction, or staged procedures for infection.

Mr Baring is happy to review relevant imaging and surgical notes as part of your consultation, but a full assessment in clinic is necessary before any recommendations can be made. If you have MRI or CT scans, X-rays, or discharge summaries from your previous treatment, please bring these to your appointment or arrange for them to be sent ahead of time. The more information available, the more productive the consultation will be.
In general, yes — revision surgery is more technically demanding than a primary procedure. Previous surgery creates scar tissue, alters anatomy, and can affect blood supply to the tissues, all of which increase complexity. However, risk levels vary considerably depending on the reason for revision, how long ago the original surgery was performed, and the overall condition of the joint. Mr Baring will give you a frank assessment of the specific risks in your case before any decision is made, and will only recommend revision surgery when the likely benefit outweighs those risks.
If you have been told that no further treatment is possible but you are still in significant pain or have limited function, a second opinion is always reasonable. Surgical techniques and implant technology continue to advance, and what was not possible several years ago may now be achievable. Mr Baring specialises in complex and revision cases and sees patients who have been told their options are exhausted. He will give you an honest assessment, which may confirm the original advice, or may identify a path forward that has not yet been explored.
